I'm in love with this game right now! I usually suck at deck building games because I find them overwhelming but this games unique style makes buding and playing decks so much easier and more fun! And the fact that there's no pay to win??? I've been playing it non stop for the past few days and have one major complaint: the rate at which you accumulate nova juice is way too slow! I can't keep up with the cards I'm unlocking! I'm stuck with decks that aren't letting me progress and it's !!!

Game style, strategy, and unique concept make it stand out at first but the combat soon becomes frustrating. The rules are relatively easy to pick up after a few games, and there are a myriad of play styles, but far too much of the combat relys on luck. You cannot consistently win without strategy, but games can be devastatingly lost if drawing the short end of the stick. Alough there is some strategy built into the percentage system, all it takes is for the game to roll a low number to lose.

Very fun, original game. There's lots of ways to build a deck, the board makes placement and thinking ahead important, and there's enough randomness to force you to adapt... without being too random to be strategic. Also, there's absolutely nothing whatsoever exploitative with their cash model... it's pretty much just skins. You advance by playing, period, as it should be... but depressingly rarely is in mobile gaming.

Fun game with a unique battle mechanic. Easy to play, but requires thought and strategy to build a good deck and use it well. Not pay to win: I'm steadily unlocking new cards for free. You can even get free skins if you save up the challenge rewards. There aren't even any ads, which is very unusual for a free game of this quality! My only complaint is slow load times and a laggy deck editor, but that might just be my phone. The developers seem to be active, so I'm excited to see what comes next!

The polish on this game is incredible, it looks absolutely great and that alone is a rarity on the mobile game scene. However the game itself is bogged down by its horrible rng. It's possible to simply never get any energy. I had a game where I have 7 minions on the top layer of the board and didnt get energy for 4 turns making a come back impossible. The win condition is entirely random which is the problem.

This is a REALLY fun game once you get the hang of it. I don’t think it's really that complicated, but it is different from everything else out there so it does take some learning and getting used to. I honestly LOVE this game. However I subtracted 1 star because it is somewhat buggy and needs fine tuning. The mechanism to press and hold to see a card information is spazzy and often doesn't work well. Also theres a lot of wierd lag during games that takes up precious time and runs out the meter.
